Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 16:14-21

There is a mixture of mercy and judgment in these verses, and it is hard to know to which to apply some of the passages here?they are so interwoven, and some seem to look as far forward as the times of the gospel. I. God will certainly execute judgment upon them for their idolatries. Let them expect it, for the decree has gone forth. 1. God sees all their sins, though they commit them ever so secretly and palliate them ever so artfully (Jer. 16:17): My eyes are upon all their ways. They have... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 16:14

Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord ,.... Or nevertheless, "notwithstanding" F4 So Noldius, Concord. Ebr. p. 507. their sins and iniquities, and the punishment brought upon them for them: or "surely", verily; for Jarchi says it is an oath, with which the Lord swore he would redeem them, though they had behaved so ill unto him: that it shall no more be said, the Lord liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt ; this was the form of an oath... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 16:15

But the Lord liveth ,.... Or they shall swear by the living Lord; or declare his power, as the Targum: "that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north"; that is, from Babylon, which lay north of Judea. The Jews F4 T. Bab. Sanhedrin, fol. 87. 1. gather from hence, that the land of Israel was higher than all other lands, because it is said, that "brought up", or "caused to ascend"; as out of the land of Egypt as before, so out of all other lands. The meaning is, that... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 16:16

Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith the Lord, and they shall fish them ,.... Which some understand of the Egyptians, who lived much on fish, and were much employed in catching them, to which the allusion is thought to be; but rather the Chaldeans are intended, whom God, by the secret instinct of his providence, brought up against the Jews; who besieged Jerusalem, and enclosed them in it, and took them as fishes in a net; see Habakkuk 1:14 , though some interpret this, and what... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 16:17

For mine eyes are upon all their ways ,.... Not only which they may take to hide themselves from their enemies, and where they should be directed to find them; but their evil ways in which they walked, and which were the cause of their calamities; these, how secret soever they were, were under the eye of God, whose eyes are in every place, and upon all the ways of men, good and bad; though they might flatter themselves, as wicked men sometimes do, that the Lord sees them not, and does not... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 16:18

And first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double ,.... Or, "but first I will recompense", &c.; F6 ושלמתי ראשונה "sed reddum primum". ; meaning, before he showed favour to them, and returned their captivity, Jeremiah 16:15 , he would punish them according to their sins; not double to what they deserved, but to what: they were used to have, or he was used to inflict upon them, punishing them less than their sins deserved; but now he would reward them to the full,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 16:19

O Lord, my strength and my fortress ,.... These are the words of the prophet, rising out of the temptation which beset him; casting off his impatience, diffidence, and unbelief; calling upon God, and exercising faith in him; having received the promise of the restoration of his people to their land, and a view of the future conversion of the Gentiles; which were a means of recovering his spiritual strength, of invigorating grace in him, and of encouraging him to exercise it in a lively... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 16:20

Shall a man make gods unto himself ,.... Can a man make his own gods? a poor, weak, mortal man? can he make gods of gold, silver, brass, wood, or stone? can he put deity into them? and when he has made images of these, can he be so stupid as to account them gods, and worship them? can he be so sottish, and void of understanding, as to imagine that anything that is made by himself or any other, can be God? and they are no gods ; that are made by men; he only is the true God, that is the... read more

Therefore, behold, I will this once cause them to know ,.... Or, "at this time", as the Targum; when the Gentiles shall be convinced of the idolatry they have been brought up in, and of the vanity and falsehood of their idols; they shall be made to know the true God, God in Christ, Christ himself, whom to know is life eternal, and to know the way of life and salvation by him; and all this through the ministry of the Gospel that should be brought among them, the Spirit of God accompanying it;... read more
